The Brussels “Hôtel de Ville” Town Hall, Belgium. Stands tall over the city square and the bustling cafes and restaurants. This photograph is a stitch of two photos, the Town Hall is so tall my 18mm lens couldn’t even capture it in a single shot, and that’s the reason for all the lens distortion, without a tripod attempting a multiple image stitch would be very challenging in this slow shutter speed situation, so I opted for the distortion.

This is another angle of the Petronas Towers looking up, and the other building next to it which is a little annoying because it makes the twin towers look not so huge, but they’re still massive! To photograph from this angle I had to lie down on the ground and look up at my camera sitting on the tripod and guess the composition, fortunately with digital you can just fire away not worry about wasting film.

Last September, while I was walking around Paris, France admiring their historical churches and buildings, I came across this really nice church unfortunately it was covered with scaffolding as usual with all these really old European buildings, under reconstruction. I noticed the long sun-rays coming in through the windows and thought it was an interesting shot. So, I attempted to get them in full, but cameras are not as advanced as our eyes so it didn’t appear the same, however with the use of HDR software I’ve been able to get a better picture :) .
